dvips: ! unexpected eof on DVI file

dvips: ! unexpected eof on DVI file

[Peter Teoh]

After doing a latest git pull, and then configure, and "make clean",
and "make" I got the following errors (and because of this, there is
no way to continue with the make operation, even though this is just a
documentation bug - anyway to put this "make doc" last in the make
process?):

/sdb1/download/systemtap/systemtap>make
/bin/sh ./git_version.sh -k -s . -o git_version.h

Here's a workaround.  Use the '--disable-docs' option to configure and
it shouldn't try to build the failing documentation.

I don't immediately know what the real problem is.
But you can ./configure --disable-docs to work around it for now.

Cheers,
